Hey, I *have* one of those! #3159. My father bought it sometime around 1970, I guess. It's a combination tool consisting of two screwdrivers and a hammer, nested together. To access the small screwdriver you unscrew the silver-color knob and pull it out from inside the brass handle; to access the large one you unscrew the brass handle, which doubles as the handle of the screwdriver, and pull the blade out from inside the hammer shaft.
3161. Lamp extractor for a panel lamp that I cannot remember where. l-)
I would agree.
3157 For cutting leather maybe 3159 as he said above. 3160 derailer for a bike.
3159 It has two screw drivers in the handle
3160 claw mount derailleur

3157 Looks like it might be a tool for splitting soft wood, perhaps a basketmaker's material preparation tool.
Ok the hammer, one that I played with when I was a kid, had many more than
2 screwdrivers as mentioned by others. IIRC it had 5 or 6 straight blade screw drivers.. The smallest would work well on eye glasses and about 1.5" long.
#3160 Derailer for a bike missing afew pieces
Yep, I remember this one. I actually bought one of these when young. The hammer was useless. But I did use the screwdrivers a few times.

Must be a heckuva' hard cheese judging by the amount of mushrooming on the latter... :)
#3159 contains a set of nesting screwdrivers in the handle. These were sometimes final exam works for machinist apprentices.
#3158 i think it is a gunsmithig tool to adjust iron sights on a gun.

Yes, that's what it is, I didn't know the answer when it was sent to me but today five or ten people have given this answer.
Correct, although this particular one has four screwdrivers.
This answer is correct.
Good answer, it's for installing and removing a pistol sight.

3162 - Probably way off but perhaps to collect maple syrup from a tree?
3162: a sapletting tool used on acer saccharum "to make maple syrup, first catch a tree"
Nope, that's not it, these are much larger than typical syrup taps.
